It might defy conventions of English orthography, but it's looking surprisingly like pwned is here to stayIf, like me, you've got a teenager in the house, then it's almost certain that at some time in the recent past you'll have heard exclamations such as 'I totally pwned him.' Or 'I just got pwned!' It might defy conventions of English orthography, but it's looking surprisingly like pwned, meaning 'defeated in a computer game', is here to stay.Pwned is the past participle of the transitive verb pwn, which, in computer gaming, refers to the action of defeating an opponent in a particularly satisfying and convincing way.

The Last WarlordAbout the bookThe Last Warlord tells the story of the legendary Afghan warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum, a larger-than-life figure who guided US Special Forces to victory over the Taliban after 9/11. Having gained unprecedented access to General Dostum, his family and his sub-commanders, as well as local chieftains, mullahs, elders, Taliban prisoners and women’s rights activists, scholar Brian Glyn Williams paints a fascinating portrait of this Northern Alliance Uzbek commander who has been shrouded in mystery and contradicting hearsay. In contrast to sensational media accounts that have mythologized the ‘bear of a man with a gruff laugh’ who ‘some Uzbeks swear, has on occasion frightened people to death’, Williams carefully chronicles Dostum’s rise from peasant villager to Uzbek leader and skilled strategist who has fought a long and bitter war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda fanatics that have sought to repress his people.
